   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  10-3466
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas - Hot Springs   
   [PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Circuit Judge, with Bye, Circuit Judge and
   Ericksen, District Judge]
   Civil Case - Family Medical Leave Act. Because a genuine issue of
   material fact exists whether Rynders was terminated because a letter he
   wrote to the editor, grant of summary judgment in favor of County Judge
   Williams is reversed. District court should have considered the extent to
   which Williams set Road Department policy before granting summary
   judgment and should do so on remand. Grant of summary judgment on
   claim of interference and retaliation under FMLA is also reversed, as
   factual dispute exists whether Williams in his official capacity received
   notice of Rynders's need for FMLA leave. Summary judgment was
   properly granted to Williams in his individual capacity on the FMLA
   claims. Judge Ericksen dissents in part.
